Corrosion-fatigue is considered to be one of the main degradation mechanisms affecting the structural integrity of offshore support structures. This paper presents a feasibility assessment for the detection and monitoring of corrosion-fatigue damage using non-contact acoustic emi ...
This paper investigates the feasibility of detection, localisation, and monitoring of corrosion-fatigue damage in mooring chain links using remote Acoustic Emission (AE) technique in submerged conditions. A large-scale experiment was conducted on a studless R4 chain retrieved aft ...
Mooring chains are key parts of floating energy production units, such as floating wind turbines, photovoltaic islands, and floating production-storage-offloading units (FPSOs). These structures are predominantly subject to corrosion and fatigue. Detailed integrity assessment of ...
Offshore support structures and mooring systems are predominantly subject to corrosion and fatigue. These structures are typically covered with marine growth of various types. Conventional inspection methods for assessment of the structural integrity require access to the cleaned ...
Measurement of transient pressure distribution on maritime structures is important for the assessment of the hydrodynamic loads applied. The commonly used pressure sensors are mostly bulky, need to be bolted to the structure, and/or only provide point-wise measurements. In this p ...
